Hello all, for a few days now I have experienced a problem where PowerMail can't open the index file. The sequence of dialogs is ...
--------------------------- Can't open the index file More info ... OK --------------------------- An indexing error occurred (index) More info ... OK --------------------------- An indexing error occurred (index) Class=FoxT;what=9;when=2(index) OK --------------------------- I'm running PM 6.2b1 on Mac OS X 10.8.4. Looking at files in the PM directory I see one named ".PMLock" but the date is after the problem started.

It occurs when I try to connect to iCloud SMTP server and also if I try a search. Has anyone else seen this issue? Is there some suggestion of how to deal with it? Thanks.....Peter
